Green Bay Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji is having an MRI taken on his injured ankle Monday, but early reports indicate that no structural damage is expected to be found, according to the NFL Network.

Raji left Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts in the second quarter when he hurt the ankle while being blocked. He did not return and the Packers eventually lost to the host Colts, 30-27.

The Milwaukee Journal reported that Raji left the locker room after the game limping.

If Raji does miss time, he would likely be replaced by defensive end Ryan Pickett.
